Trump Humiliated as Election Losing Streak Hits Milestone

Jim WATSON / AFP via Getty Images Donald Trump’s effort to boost Republican candidates isn’t packing the punch he wants it to, as his losing endorsements hit double digits this week thanks to a series of primaries in his home state.

Ten GOP candidates endorsed by the president have now lost their primary race after the Florida Republican primary season came to a close on Tuesday.

They include Catalina Lauf, whom he endorsed in Florida’s crowded GOP 19th congressional district primary race, and scandal-plagued Rep.

Cory Mills, who was running for reelection in the state’s seventh congressional district, but lost his primary by more than 13 points.

In Wyoming, Trump’s pick for governor, Megan Degenfelder, also lost her bid despite the president attempting to put his thumb on the scale in her favor.

The state’s school superintendent lost to state Rep.

Eric Barlow by more than 15 points.

Degenfelder was one of a handful of candidates for governor who have lost primary races this cycle despite Trump’s endorsement.

There has also been an uptick in his preferred House candidates coming up short in recent weeks.

The string of races where Republican voters have bucked the president’s picks raises questions about how voters from his own party are feeling about the U.S. political landscape as Trump himself is facing record-low approval.

His preferred gubernatorial candidates have now lost in states including ones that have been strong Trump backers in previous election cycles.
